LONDON, Sept. 3. (Thursday) The
official Tress Bureau issued the follow
ing statement:
"Continuous fighting has been in
progress a" along the whole line of
hnttle. The British' cavalry engaged
with distinction the cavalry of the
rnemy, brushed them back and cap
tured ten guns. The French army
vontinued the offensive and gained
ground in the Lorraine district. In
other regions of the war the Russian
-irmy is investing Koenigsberg. The
Russian victory, which was complete at
L-mlers, had already been announced."
A Petrograd (St. Petersburg) special
to Reuters' says the garrison at Koe
nigsherg. East Prussia, has made an
unsuccessful attempt at a sortie.
A dispatch to the Chronicle from
Paris states that orders have been is
sued for the removal of all the wound
ed from Paris to Rennes and Nantec.
A Reuter dispatch from Petrograd
says a battle which had been admitted

Kast Prussia was fought in Osterode
m the Soldau-Niedenburg-Osterode
line.
Advices have been received here from
8t. Petersburg that the Russian general
staff frankly confesses to disaster to
two army corps including the loss of
Ihrt-e generals.
Telegraphing from St. Petersburg,
the correspondent of The Times tie
dares the war reports given out by the
headquarters staff in the Russian capi
tal are generally rather meagre, byt in
contradiction to those from Berlin and
Vienna they are always true. ,
That the headquarters will stick to
this plan also when the news is bad is
proved by the announcements of today.
The wording of today's announce
ment indicates that other Vistula fort
resses, besides Graudenz and Thorn
have sent reinforcements. This news
arrived last night and the people of St.
Petersburg received It with firmness.
Their faith in final Russian victory
remains wholly unshaken.
General Samsoniv, one of the Rus
sian commanders killed, was considered
one of Russia's most capable and bril
liant generals. He greatly distin
guished himself in the Russij-Japane.se
war. where he commanded a division
of Siberian Cossacks. He was after
wards nominated the commander of the
army corps and later was appointed
commander of the troops in Turkestan.
He was very popular and his name was
a household word among all classes.
The other two lost commanders, The
Times correspondent goes on, were
Generals Martos, commander of the
army corps, and General Pestitich, at
tached to the general staff.
The Daily Mail's correspondent at
Abbeville, IYance learns that Emperor
William was in Charleroi, Belgium, last
isjturday where he viewed the battle
field, later motoring to Mons. He spent
Saturday night in Brussels and stayed
at the Bellevue Hotel.
The young Duke of Brunswick, a
son-in-law of Emperor William gave a
hie banouet !ajt week In the Pnlapn r,f
Laeken in Brussels, according to the
correspondent. The princiDal guest
was the emperor's son, Prince August
William.
The correspondent also says, "King
Albert came within an ace of death
during the sortie on Malines. He was
directing operations from his motor
car, when a shrapnel burst ten yards
away, blowing off the rear wheels of
the car."

PEKIN, Sept. 2. The German lega
tion protested to the foreign office
against the Japanese violation of Chi
na's neutrality by landing at Lung
Kow. News of the landing caused no
surprise here as the Japanese legation
several days ago requested the foreign
office to remove the fifty kilometer

f'hinese as the fighting area around
Tsing Tau.
The foreign office did not comply
with the request, but it is understood

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2 The Clay
ton anti-trust bill, to supplement the
Sherman law, which will complete
the administration trust legislative
program at this session of congress,
passed the senate today. The bill,
amended by the senate in many par
ticulars, will be sent to conference
where the federal trade commission
bill is still under consideration. Re
ports on both measures are hoped
for within two weeks.
The bill provides a fine and im
prisonment for officers of corpora
tions convicted of offenses against
the trust laws; prohibits exclusive
and tying contracts which restrict the
independence of put-chasers; prohib
its holding companies where their
effect is to lessen competition or to
create monopoly, and makes illegal
two years after passage of the act,
interlocking directorates in competing
corporations, and any one which has
a capital of more than a million. It
also forbids interlocking railroad di
rectorates with corporations dealing
in securities and railroad supplies or
contracts and liberalizes the proced
ure of injunction and contempt cases.
The sections of the house bill re
lating to price discrimination and
unfair competition were stricken out
in the senate.
Labor, agricultural and horticultur
al organizations, not conducted for
profit, were exempted from the pro
visions relating to monopoly.
The maximum penalty fixed for a
violation of the provision preventing
an exclusive contract is $5,000 or one
year's imprisonment or both. The
provision against holding companies
will not prevent common carriers
from acquiring branch lines where
there Is no substantial competition
The sections relating to interlink

two years after the passage of the
act.
Directors of railroads, under the
terms of the bill, cannot be interlock

win an immediate victory or risk be
ing caught between the hammer and
the anvil. If they win they will still
have to meet other armies, including
a large garrison army. Common
sense has been shown in preparing
against any contingency.
"No considerable change is percep
tible in the military situation, and it
is believed that the main French
army and British wing still hold the
line. So far the German turning
movement by western Belgium, which
cost enormous losses and risks, has
been successful, but now the posi
tion is very different. The best of
the Prussian and Hanover troops are
now exhausted, and the Germans
have the main bodies of the allies
to meet.
"Forts on which so many brains
had been spent were not silenced.
What with prospective defeat and
flight, piecemeal slaughter is open
for the Germans.
"A brief official review just issued
reveals the vast extent of this un
precedented battlefied, seventy-five
miles long. Forty-five miles south
west from their main army, the al
lies blocked the German path.
"Whether it is the same British
force fighting on Somme to the
southwest, or another, we do not
know. Near Sedan, French troops
had to effect a slow retreat, but it
repelled another German attack
so doing, inflicting heavy German
losses. Fresh German reinforce
ments then appeared from Rocroi

of Ardennes.
"Many wounded continue to arrive
in Paris, some with trophies, such
as swords and helmets.

the ships, the government accepting
the company's bonds as reimburse

firm in the belief that there will be
no violation of neutrality even if the
German steamers now marooned in
American ports are purchased.
An executive order suspending cer
tain, sections of the navigation laws,
authorized under the registry bill
passed last week, will be issued to
morrow', removing the final objec

Mr. Underwood asked President
Wilson to indicate what course he
proposed to recommend in raising the
needed revenues, but up to tonight
the president had not done so.
Suggestions have been made that
beer, whisky, domestic wines, to
bacco, railroad and theatre tickets,
gasoline, patent medicines. soft
drinks and other similar commodi
ties be taxed. No agreement has
been reached, however, by the ways

There is said to be a war revenue
plan which rests undisclosed in Ma

purpose is not to call the committee

plan to avoid unnecessary discussion
but believes it will be simple enough
to allow passage without delay.
The treasury department reported
today that customs revenues dropped
off about $11,000,000 during August.
The total customs receipts for the
month were $19,413,463. Slight in
creases over August, 1913, are shown
in the internal revenue and corpora

ceipts for the month were nearly
$10,000,000 less than in August of

Antwerp Menaced by Dirigible
LONDON, Sept. 2 According to
an Antwerp dispatch to the Even
ing News, the Zeppelin dirigible
which appeared over Antwerp Just
before 4 o'clock this morning circled
over only the southeasterly part of
the city. At Deume, two miles east
of Antwerp, the Zeppelin apparently
made efforts to reach a wireless. It
dropped bombs, four houses being
hit and four persons wounded.
When the airship appeared - over
Antwerp an alarm was given quickly
bv the forts. Searchlights were
piaved upon the airship, but were
rather ineffective, because the Zep
pelin appeared just before dawn after
a clear moonlight night, bnois were
fired at it, and it is believed tne air
ship was hit. At Berchem, inside
the inner fortifications, a bomb de
stroved the telegraph wires over the
streets. At another point
fell close to the railway lines, but
did no damage.
News from Antwerp
ANTWERP. Sept. 2. The follow
n official statement concerning the
maneuvers of the Zeppelin airshiu
over Antwerp last night and early
today was issued tonight:
"A Zeppelin airship was reporieu
at 10:30 o'clock last nigiu u
forts south of the city and aiso ne.
the river Nethe. It passed over Alost
toward Termonde and Ghent, re
turned to Antwerp and there tried
to flv over the city, but for a time
the heavy artillery fire kept it out
side the outer fortifications.
"At 3 o'clock five or six bomb
were dropped from it, and later sev
en bombs were dropped in the Pare
Du Rosignol, close to some houses
which had been converted into hos
pitals and which were flying the
Red Cross flag. These houses were
damaged and ten or twelve persons
slightly injured. After the bomb
dropping exploit, the Zeppelin rose
and disappeared in the direction of
Malines.
"Examination of the bombs thrown
showed they had a thin double cov
ering, the two covers joined together
with mushroom-shaped rivets, which
act the part of bullets and are liable
to cause terrible injury When the
covers are burst by the explosion.
They are similar to those used by
the Bonnett motor car bandits.'

PARIS, Sept. 2. The Petit Farisjen
says that fourteen German staff r

in the department of Gard.
Is Worrying Americans
i ernment that none of the numerous
I questions of neutrality which may
I arise would affect friendly relations
between Great Britain and the United
States.
While not disputing the right of the
United States to purchase as many
ships from one belligerent nation as she
chooses, Great Britain would not be
pleased if a great number of vessels
were bought from German owners, a
circumstance that might give Germany
a big supply of money.
The answer of the American govern
ment to this idea Is that when the time
for purchasing ships arrives nothing of
an unneutral nature will be done and
as equitable arrangements as possible
will be sought,
